FACTORS CAUGHT DOSING
THE COTTON MARKET STIRRED
UP BY NEW REPORTS.

The Agricultural Bureaus Estimate Of
the Crop Causes an Advance in the
Market, and Buyers Take Advantage
of It-Lively Times in New York
The Advance Here.
A good many cotton factors were caught
mapping yesterday. The market was a pecu-
liar one. 1t opened dull with considera-
BILE stock offering. Some holders sold early
in the day at from l-16c. to &c. under the
market
Toward one o'clock buyers began to
receive private advices from their New
York correspondents. The market there
had advanced 1-l6c. per pound for spot cot
ton, and futures fully fifty points. This
started the ball moving here, and
between and . o'clock buyers
began to flock into the sample rooms
taking the factors by surprise. Their offer
ings were so readily snapped up at the first
figure named, that later on the holders were
in quandary and at a loss for awhile to
know what price to ask, or how high figures
might be carried.
Inc few VINO mad not sold out earlier in
the day obtained from an sc to a &c.
higher than the highest prices of the morn
ing This was particularly the case with
line cotton, aud at the closing call at
O'Clock the market was so irregular and the
feeling 50 feverish that the Cotton Exchange
was unable to furnish accurate figure for
quotations. The total sales for the day Of
spot cotton were 1916 bales.
The reports from New York were excit-
ing and number of heavy bear operators
who were short on large blocks of future
contracts were unable 10 cover before the
day closed, owing to the rapidity with
which the market went up on them.
The cause of this boom was the report of
the Agricultural Bureau, which was made
public yesterday morning estimating the
present cotton crop at 6,300,0O0 bales, and
confirming the estimate previously made 10y
the Cotton " ofid of q, l3225 900 bales.
